How to Make Shakshouka Israeli Eggs With Tomatoes

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 finely chopped jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin.
  3. Partially cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Crack 4 large eggs carefully into the tomato mixture, spacing them evenly.
  6. Partially cover and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference (about 5-7 minutes). You can finish this step under a broiler for 1-2 minutes for a firmer yolk.
  7. Serve immediately with warm unleavened bread, such as matzo, for dipping.
